USB Flash Drive - Not Formatted issue

Hi World,


Have a rather frustrating issue with a clients generic brand (no name that is) pen / flash drive claiming that its not formatted.

Long story short it detects, has a drive letter assigned and according to the user has data on it, but isnt recognised as the appropriate file structure Fat32 / NTFS etc...

Any advice on how to recover it, I had tried to use the ultimate boot cd (virtual o.s / imaging disc) to see if the files were accessable... but sadly no joy:cry

Thanks in advance for helpful hints, tips or advice - that is apart from burning it at the stake:-D

 

Hey guys cancel this, its shot, dead, no good, given up the ghost, non functional, toast, futsed, destroyed even...

Thanks for reading this far though.
